You really should read this stunner by @rochellejohnson.bsky.social in The Georgia Review. Thx to @saribotton.bsky.social & her Memoir Monday for the link. www.thegeorgiareview.com/posts/phanto...

Brilliant episode! Kudos @camilleuadams.bsky.social !

Love Maiolo’s memoir!

Loved my conversation with Rebecca Makkai. booth.butler.edu/2025/06/06/a...

Grateful for this new practice—and Maureen

Not many people know that AA Milne had a much smaller brother called AAA Milne

Thanks to @memoirland.bsky.social for boosting this great memoir!

I feel like if you have any interest at all in reading/writing, Matt Bell’s newsletter should be a must-read. I have learned so much from each one!

I will never understand people who come in swinging to defend the indefensible actions of large corporations. They don’t care about you. Anyway, Happy Independent Bookstore day! Show your local indie some love—or find one to love on @bookshop.org or @libro.fm Mine is @thelynxbooks.bsky.social

Love this “book by the cover” piece in Lit Mag News—especially since one of the mags it highlights is my beloved @boothajournal.bsky.social litmagnews.substack.com/p/q-can-you-...

Great to see this stunner by @caseymulliganwalsh.bsky.social, (1st featured in @splitlipthemag.bsky.social), now brought to you by @short-reads.org www.short-reads.org/still/?ref=s...

I really wish Submittable gave editors & readers a way to bypass the cover letter. #litmags

We’ve Got War To Cover, the new memoir up at @splitlipthemag.bsky.social & featured at @memoirland.bsky.social is such a stunning piece of writing splitlipthemag.com/memoir/0325/...

New obsession. Love this take on repairing worn clothing which is also a kind of middle finger to consumer culture

Really enjoyed the new interview of @marthasjones.bsky.social by Let’s Talk Memoir host @ronitplank.bsky.social

Happy Annual "OMG I Don't Think I Watched Any New Movies This Year" Day!... to all who celebrate.

REGARDING MY DELAY I’ve been trying on coffins and can’t find one with a big enough dance floor. —Andrea Cohen @fourwaybooks.bsky.social

Gorgeous love story “This is the secret of patriarchy. The boys are supposed to save us. The boys are supposed to be our great loves. Be we knew better.” substack.com/inbox/post/1... #BrookeHartman

Can I just say how much I enjoy @beckyltuch.bsky.social ‘s Lit Mag News. Love this take on Narrative… litmagnews.substack.com/p/q-can-we-t...

It was bad enough when Elon made Twitter unusable, but now he’s doing the same thing to America.

When rl is indistinguishable from an Onion headline

I need some volunteer readers for @fracturedlit.bsky.social ! We prefer that readers have had some experience publishing flash, so keep that in mind!

It’s all so much worse than I feared. And my fears were big.

Love this post on how to render a life

We sent a flash acceptance this week! The world is chaotic, but we are still here doing our literary work. We are reading your submissions with great care and love. We thank you for your writing. ✨ The words you send us are beautiful and important. 🌟

In 2023 at least 960 #birds died in one day due to window collisions at McCormick Place in #Chicago. After applying bird-friendly window treatments, there were just 18 deaths all last fall. Further proof these simple changes work, and work well! It's time communities start making this a requirement.

Teach me, @gfaulknerwriter.bsky.social! It's a process, this rejection acceptance. . .

This is great. Celeste’s script is in her thread.

Thanks to @dintywmoore.bsky.social & @allisonkwilliams.bsky.social for directing me to this great piece about…everything.

I have a pack.

Every once in a great while I come across a novel so full of voice and imagination that it holds my memoir-addicted brain hostage. Like this gem by Jennine Capo Crucet. #sayhellotomylittlefriend #pitbull #orca

A beautiful Beautiful Things up today @riverteeth.bsky.social riverteethjournal.com/beautiful-th...

Sending light from my house to yours

The best part—aside from the great smell—is that my daughter is making these herself. We like them “well done.” #latkes

Love today’s new Beautiful Things, via @riverteeth.bsky.social @melissasevigny.bsky.social riverteethjournal.com/beautiful-th...

Just now learned the word “proxemics.” I am someone who is overly sensitive to spacial configurations between me and…everyone, so learning the work gives me a framework with which to think about this.

Looking for memoirs that explore the writer’s experience after delivering a premature baby. Suggestions? #memoirwriters

Really enjoying the LARB Radio Hour podcast best of 2024 episode. Music, movie, books, it has it all.

Wow, this memoir. SO worth a read! #brookerandel

Large print books are great for any age. Makes reading so much easier for my unfocused brain.

If only…

Luigi got them shook.

Love this flash nonfiction, think you will too. www.short-reads.org/raptor/?ref=... #pennyguisinger #shortreads

Absolutely!

Memoir interwoven with personal reportage is my favorite. Lots more like Hernandez’s The Kissing Bug

Not surprised but, for whatever reason, I have hope

If you're looking for a great book to read this weekend, take a look at the interviews in our archives. So many fantastic authors and books here: https://buff.ly/4fZBYQE
